I was at Best Buy today...
« on: September 24, 2006, 02:16:00 pm »
Well, we just got a 4th computer in our house so now pretty much everyone has their own in the family.  Anyways, I went to get a monitor that matched the kitchen set up, and while I was there I had a look at the capture cards.  Basically, there were no USB capture cards for sale under $80 CAD.  Now, as an unemployed 17 year old, I'm not ready to spend $80 on an accessory to my GE career.  This leads me to...

Who wants my tapes?  I'm not sure about sending to mouser because he's so erratic always.  Alex did it last time and he's busy so that's kind of unfair.  Anyone who wants to capture my stuff just post here.  Here's some of what you'll be capturing.

Silo A 1:04
Facility SA 0:56
Statue 220/221s/220
Archives Sweep
Surface 1 Sweep
Runway A 0:23 X 6 in a row
and basically all my PRs dating back to late April.  

I'll make a master tape.  Probably 1 or 2 master tapes with about 2 hours of footage each.  So like I'd say 3-4 hours of tapes maximum needing to be captured.  Anyways, if you volunteer for this job, then post here and I'll consider you.

The tapes haven't been made yet, but I'll make then and send within the next 2-3 weeks or so.

Thanks to all volunteers :)

I just got my VCR, so I can capture.  Check out my mariokart videos for an example of the quality I will capture/compress in.  You might want to save shipping and stay canada though.

If you send to me, I'll have it all up and captured within 3-4 days of receiving your tape.  Shipping would probably take around a week, and dont do fedex or UPS or something, do air mail at the PO.  (maybe I should be ratarded and say something like.. send it USPS ;) )
